Kingdom of Holland

The Kingdom of Holland, also called the United Netherlands, was a vassal state of the First French Empire, founded in Late June 1805. Ruled by king Jef I of Holland, the kingdom was formed after the conquest of Amsterdam from the Batavian Republic. In 1810 the kingdom was dissolved after King Louis I of Holland served the Dutch expectation rather than his brother Napoleon's.

History
In 1805 the Batavian Republic betrayed France by declaring war on their Westphalian allies, and the French responded by fighting a war against them in defense of their ally. Westphalia was conquered by the Dutch, and the French responded by capturing Amsterdam and bringing King Jef I of Holland to the throne of the United Netherlands. Holland was initially unfriendly with France, but a trade agreement was arranged and France gave Holland all of its technology that it had to offer as a gift of well-being.
